The vision of restoration of Christianity in Russia and Ukraine
Post date: 2016-10-06Autor: BCP
It is necessary for the Orthodox priests to resolve to devote at least one and a half days a week to God and their souls in prayer and reflection on God’s Word. This would lead to the spiritual resurrection of all Russia and Ukraine.
A request for the restoration of the Hagia Sophia Basilica
Post date: 2016-07-21Autor: BCP
Dear Mr President, dear Members of the Turkish Government, we hereby address You with a request that the historic Hagia Sophia Basilica be restored to the Orthodox Christians for divine worship.This Basilica served as the major Christian temple of the city of Constantinople until 1453. After the violent Islamization of the Christian territory, the Christian population fell to 0.1%. The Basilica was converted into a mosque. We request that this historic sacral building be restored to its original condition and returned. We also demand elimination of discrimination against Christians in Turkey as well as religious freedom for them.
Is the God of Christians identical with the Allah of Muslims?
Post date: 2016-01-13Autor: BCP
In 1965, the Second Vatican Council declared a heresy about the Christian God and the Muslim Allah being one and the same.The essential feature of the true Lord God is that He is self-subsistent. Allah is not the true God. He is not self-subsistent; he is a pagan god of moon identified in Mecca as the highest of the 360 gods. When Moses asked the Lord what His name was, God replied, “I Am Who I Am” (YHWH), so He alone is subsistent in Himself and does not have a beginning from anyone. And to say the same about the pagan god Allah through the mouth of the Council is a colossal heresy. It is as if the Council said: “God and a demon is one and the same.” And this is blasphemy calling for a curse! Furthermore, it means destruction of whole Christianity at the root, a spiritual suicide.
The political system in Russia
Post date: 2015-12-09Autor: BCP
The current political system of USA has a spirit of neofascism. Its agenda is reduction of mankind to a “golden billion”. Unless Russia builds a political system on the foundation of uncompromisingly opposing principles, it will be globalized.
Will Pan-Orthodox Synod take place in 2016? / Part IV: Prognosis
Post date: 2015-11-03Autor: BCP
We live in a historic time when the responsibility of saving the Russian nation from globalization autogenocide is not a matter of a capable politician only, but the responsibility falls on every citizen of Russia! The only effective weapon against the spread of the rule of antichrist is true repentance!The question of repentance is also linked to the question of the meaning and purpose of our life. Why do you live? To eat, drink, work or sleep, to become a slave to lies and sin, to die, be buried and end up in hell? This life is only a short test and it decides our eternity. The purpose of life is to search for and then to receive the revealed Truth, Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth, and also Life! (cf. Jn 14:6)What should we repent of in particular?Mainly of boycotting the Truth, the reality of shortness of time and the reality of death. We have not given the first place to God and the law of God!
Is Allah and the Christian God one and the same?
Post date: 2015-10-07Autor: BCP
A synod held at Constantinople in 1180 adopted a formula holding that Allah is not the God of the Bible. The synod also adopted the formula of solemn abjuration of the faith in Allah and his prophet Muhammad which was exacted from Muslim converts to Christianity before receiving the sacrament of Baptism. This was also the practice of the Orthodox Church in Russia, where Muslim minorities existed.The heresy saying that Allah is the same as the Triune God was implied in the Nostra aetate declaration of Vatican II (1965). However, the Muslims themselves deny this heresy.
An appeal to Catholics - Part three: Metastrophein /a change of lifestyle/
Post date: 2015-10-06Autor: BCP
The Vatican has given the programme of aggiornamento – adaptation to the world, which has resulted in internal decay. Therefore, it is necessary to identify an agenda that will withstand globalization autogenocide. Every bishop and every priest must start the reform by an example of personal repentance. They must separate from the heresies of HCT, syncretism and tolerance of immorality. If a bishop or priest remains in false unity with the apostate Vatican, every Catholic believer is obliged to separate from this priest or bishop and consider him a heretic! Unless the believers do so, they are under a curse! If they obstinately persist in this state until death, they will be eternally condemned!Christianity must become again the salt of the earth and the pillar of the truth! This is the programme of repentance and reform: To restore all things in Christ!
Bull of Canonization of the Czech martyr John Huss (+ video)
Post date: 2015-07-04Autor: BCP
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate after examining the documents relating to the writings of John Huss, his testimony of life and orthodoxy of the Catholic faith as well as orthodox doctrine, and also after examining the evidence about his imprisonment and death, on the occasion of the six hundredth anniversary of his martyrdom, by authority of the apostolic and prophetic office, in the name of the Triune God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, numbers John Huss, Czech priest and martyr for Christ and the truth, among the choir of saints. We hereby appeal to the Czech nation to follow its heroic preacher of truth especially in these hard times of serious heresies, invasion of neopaganism and moral devastation.
The spirit of pharisaism
Post date: 2015-02-03Autor: BCP
The spirit of pharisaism is a spirit which vegetates in the Church in a special way. One must take a whip and drive it out of the temple of God like the money-changers. Religious Pharisees hate the truth. They are full of rebellion and pride. They neither enter the kingdom of God themselves, nor do they allow others to enter it, as Jesus said in the Gospel.
Reflection on Jn 15:16
Post date: 2015-01-31Autor: BCP
Think to yourself for a moment that God chose you: “I did not choose You, my God and Saviour, but You chose me before the foundation of the world...” (cf. Eph 1:4) Jesus wants me to bear fruit – the fruit of works done according to the will of God and in faith. This fruit should remain forever! Jesus assures us again that the Father will give us whatever we ask in His name. This holy name of God is “Yehoshua” (Lord is my salvation).
Spiritual mobilization of women in Russia and Ukraine
Post date: 2015-01-12Autor: BCP
Dear women and mothers, God turns to you and wants you to mobilize in this spiritual battle for the salvation of your nation from moral, spiritual and physical autogenocide. Satanic globalization, which destroys all moral values and Christianity at the root, fights even for Ukraine. What should you do for the salvation of the nation? Penance! More specifically: Restrict watching TV or rather turn it off for the whole of this year. Make a promise to God for one year that you will spend at least one hour every day in prayer. Pray daily a so-called holy hour from 8 to 9 p.m.Dissociate yourselves from the influence of fortune-tellers, horoscopes and signs of the zodiac, extrasensory individuals, and rock music with the roots in satanic voodoo which disposes to occultism, drugs, sexual perversion and cynicism. This calls down a curse on the individual and the nation!
2015 – 600th anniversary of the martyrdom of John Huss /An open letter to the Catholic and the Hussite hierarchies/
Post date: 2015-01-03Autor: BCP
1 January 2015 will mark the beginning of the anniversary of the martyrdom of a Bohemian priest who was labelled by church pharisees as a heretic and burnt alive in Constance on 6 July 1415. I believe that there are among You Catholics and Hussites who sincerely seek the truth, and although they are weary and dulled by the spirit of the world, deep in their hearts they feel pain and perceive that the present-day Church is no longer “the pillar of truth” and no longer has the Spirit of the apostles and martyrs.May this Czech martyr, who sought a reform of priestly life, become a pattern for every sincere Catholic or Hussite.
Open letter to the Bishops of Poland
Post date: 2014-12-23Autor: BCP
Dear bishops, the Byzantine Patriarchate appealed to the current Pope Francis to declare the year 2015 as the year of a true reform of the Church. The letter “2015 – year of the reform of the Catholic Church” points out that the blame for the disastrous state of the Church lies above all with the Polish Pope John Paul II, and You build statues in memory of him and rename streets and squares in irrational euphoria, and, to all appearances, You will even dedicate new churches to him!The time has come to make a stand against artificial euphoria created by the spirit of Antichrist and by the enemies of the Church along with the Masons. It is time You wrote a pastoral letter and showed the true reality to the Polish Catholics: John Paul II was not and is not a saint but a heretic who is under God’s curse! He refused to retract the heresies of Assisi syncretism until the last moment of his life. Behind the spirit of Assisi is not the Spirit of Christ but the spirit of Antichrist!
2015 – year of the reform of the Catholic Church
Post date: 2014-12-14Autor: BCP
The Byzantine Patriarchate appeals to the leader of the Catholic Church for a radical reform within the Catholic Church. Pope John XXIII summoned the Second Vatican Council under the motto of “aggiornamento”. Heresies and syncretism within the bounds of aggiornamento were given the first place. Measures of Vatican II started a process of gradual expulsion of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth and life, and allowed the spirit of Assisi, the spirit of syncretism, to get to the key posts. Today we can see the fruits. Neomodernism and syncretism was the cause of moral decay (paedophilia among the clergy in Europe and America). This is a catastrophic but true diagnosis of the Catholic Church, but still only partially. The reality is even more terrible. The basic question is: What to do? To take a rope and commit suicide like Judas? No! The solution is the example of the first Pope St Peter: he wept bitterly and repented.
Mission of prayer
Post date: 2014-12-10Autor: BCP
“I was in prison and you came to Me. I was sick and you visited Me.” Christ is in us like in prison. Who keeps Him in prison? It is the system of our old self, sin in our soul. Jesus is imprisoned in me. “Lord, I want to know who is the prison guard in me, who keeps You in prison, who has charge of the keys of the prison?! Is it spiritual bondage, addictions, blindness, laziness or self-will?” We do not even visit Jesus in this prison. That is why we need to launch out into the deep and meet Jesus there.
Reflection on Jn 15:4
Post date: 2014-12-06Autor: BCP
Jesus sets a condition: “If you abide in Me…” If we are to abide in Christ, we first need to unite to Him. If we are separated from Him by unbelief, self-will, hedonism, criticism or other sins or vanities, we must enter into actual unity with Him anew. That is why we need interior prayer in which we are first purified through repentance and then give ourselves and our problems to Jesus, become united to Him by faith and, as a result of this unity with Him, make steps of faith.
Patriarch Elijah’s message for the Feast of Christ the King
Post date: 2014-11-22Autor: BCP
Ask yourself each: Is Jesus the King in the kingdom of my soul? Is He really the King there? If we have not received the kingdom of God, He is not the King there. Jesus says that we should seek first the kingdom of God and all other things will be added to us. So the first thing is to seek the kingdom of God. Jesus is the King in the kingdom of God. Who is the king in the kingdom of this world? The prince of this world. Jesus speaks about the truth while the kingdom of the devil is built on lies. Jesus is the Truth, as He says Himself: “For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” (Jn 18:37)

Mk 11:23: "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says."
Reflection on Jn 14:26
Post date: 2014-11-08Autor: BCP
“He will bring to your remembrance…” We can know the whole Scripture by heart, we can have a large amount of information like a computer, but that’s not essential. We need the right information at the right time, and this information may be much useful or it can even save life. We need to project it on the screen of our mind. This reviving in the spiritual sphere is the work of the Holy Spirit. The Gospel of Christ is no human philosophy or human wisdom. The words of Jesus are the Spirit and life. They are simple and call for action. It is not enough to hear them and lead religious discussions. That’s too little. We need to actualize Jesus’ commandments.
The mystery of the gift of a new nature
Post date: 2014-11-07Autor: BCP
God promised to give us a new heart and a new spirit (cf. Ezek 36:26). He performed this transplantation of heart when Jesus, dying on the cross, said: “Behold, your mother” and the disciple received her. Each of us must be a disciple standing bravely by the cross like John. It is the place where our salvation and transplantation of heart is accomplished.
